A delightful dish combining sweet honey and tangy lemon, perfect for quick dinners.
Equipment
- Large Skillet For cooking the chicken and glaze.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 breasts chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup honey
- 2 thirds cup soy sauce
- 1 half cup lemon juice
- 1 fourth cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Cut the chicken breasts into strips, ensuring they are of even size for uniform cooking.
- In a medium bowl, mix cornstarch, garlic powder, and black pepper. Coat the chicken strips with this mixture.
- Place the coated chicken strips in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Add butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, but be careful not to burn the garlic!
- Pour the honey glaze mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the glaze is cooking, spoon it continuously over the chicken to ensure each piece is well-coated and flavorful.
- Serve the sweet and sticky honey garlic chicken over steamed rice, and don’t forget to drizzle some extra glaze over the top for that extra flavor!
